They don't necessarily want it linked with progressiveness & normalised in fashion coz they might be conservative & not an accessory.

This is leading some to take it off as it has lost the meaning it had to them. This is very interesting. And positive, I think.

The attempt to include hijabis in fashionable identity-based progressivism annoys those who aren't fashionable identity-based progressives.

'You are modern, progressive women interested in fashion too!' 'No, we're not. Sod off.'

I don't think conservative muslims would take off the hijab for that reason, because the reason they chose to take the hijab remains.

Well, that was the reason Khadija Ahmed gives in the piece. It had become commercialized & lost sacredness.

Some conservatives will definitely have those issues but won't take off the hijab I think, they can always go the plain, non-brand route.

Some progressives are just very anti-comercialism & anti big business & I think she's describing these people.
